Stoke signing Agudelo aiming to make most of Utrecht move

The 21-year-old Stoke City forward has signed on loan for FC Utrecht while the Potters try to gain a work permit for him to play for them in England from next season.

"I'm looking to get games in in Europe," the former MLS star told The Sentinel. "Unfortunately it won't be in the EPL (English Premier League) yet, but playing in Europe is quality. To be able to test myself and see what I can do is awesome.

"It's another step towards my dream of playing in the Premier League. I've had to take a little different route, but I'm getting there.

"It's been a pretty crazy rollercoaster, but I'm happy to be here and excited to have six months (at Utrecht) to prove myself."
